Large Player Races

Large races have to pay more for armor due to the added cost of needing more material to craft it. Prices are doubled for all armor and shields. During character creation, all large sized characters have their Strength score increased by 2 and their Dexterity decreased by 2. The following races are considered large sized:

  • Centaur from Monsters of the Multiverse
  • Loxodon from Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica
  • Saurian Lizardfolk from Variant Lizardfolk
  • Rekeno (older than 500) from Blue's Book
  • Dreadnaught from Blue's Book
  • Half Giant from Abi-Dalzim's
  • Myconid (Growth Meld) from Abi-Dalzim's
  • Highbreed from my Custom Races
  • Detrovite from my Custom Races
The following races also lose the Powerful Build trait or similar part of another trait such as Equine Build: Centaur, Loxodon, Myconid, Half Giant.
